This vintage dress is brocade with cotton backing (from when my mom married my dad in January 1970, so it's also quite heavy as it was made for a winter wedding).

Measurements on dress:
54" from collar to hem
22" from shoulder seam to cuff (but notice the taper so it's longer on the thumb side)
16" across bust (see the darts)
19" across hips
42" across bottom hem

Measurements on train:
64" long
78" wide
has 3 hooks to attach somehow. I'm not familiar with how exactly, but maybe it attaches to the bow?

If you'd like additional pictures, I'll be happy to provide them.

When I unsealed the box in 2022, I discovered that it had come unsealed (probably when they moved in 2021?) and had yellow discoloration on 2 small 4" sections of the dress and also the train. I've had it dry cleaned and the yellowing is less visible, really hard to see in bright sunlight or dim light. You might be able to see a small area just to the right of the buttons on the front around the midsection, and also on a fold on the train (each about 4" long but quite faint), so it may be fun to add a belt or sash.
